Thanks to Amanda Johnson for providing us with this report.

The annual general meeting of the Parwich Memorial Hall was held last Wednesday (March 19th), with a succinct summary of a busy year from the Chairman (Mike Gerard-Pearse) and a clear explanation of the healthy bank balances of the Hall from the Treasurer (Ed Linnell).

The five elected members of the committee were re-elected without opposition: Mike Gerard-Pearse, Ed Linnell, Amanda Johnson, Janet Gosling and Sandra Chadfield.

The short (and sadly rather poorly attended) AGM was followed by an excellent presentation by Val Stevenson about the progress with the Big Lottery Fund Bid and how the Community came to be in this promising position in terms of potential funding for a new Hall.

Peter Trewhitt then displayed the new weblog and website pages, with an exciting account of how everyone can gain and share information and become involved.

There should be more Memorial Hall Pages on-line in the next few days, with the minutes of the meeting and the overheads from Val’s talk (Peter Trewhitt just needs someone to talk him through publishing traditional pages on the web – “I thought I knew what I was doing but it didn’t quite work”).
